I am using JBoss 3.2.3. When I print a message from my code using System.out.println(), this is how it get printed on Console and server.log:
yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss,SSS INFO [STDOUT] <message>
where <message> is the message I am printing.
This is the format I want my messages to use when i print them using System.out.println():
yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss, SSS <message>
Can anybody tell me how to do this thing? Thanks

thanks for your reply. I look at the log4j.xml, read the document and figure out that I have to made the changes in ConversionPattern for CONSOLE and FILE appenders. So I change it to
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %m%n"/>
It works perfect for my messages. And my messages are printed in this format :
yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss,SSS <message>
Unfortunately the other messages (not my application messages) are also being printed in this new format which is a big no for our company.
I only want my messages to be printed in the new format. Can you help me in this regard? Thanks
So in case of CONSOLE, for messages which I am printing from my classes, i want to use
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %m%n"/>
But messages from other programs (JBoss, Apache etc.) I want to use
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{ABSOLUTE} %-5p [%c{1}] %m%n"/>
Now the point is how to differentiate between my application messages (which are being printed using system.out.println) and other messages. For that the answer is the first 5 characters of all my application messages are either "PEND:" or "WEBF:".
Now is it possible that i can use different ConversionPattern based on the message I am receiving? If not then is there any other way to accomplish the task? I want to do the same thing for FILE.
Thanks

What you are trying to do is not possible with Log4j as far as I know. But this definitely would be a nice feature: "changing output format dynamically based on message content".
